Fluky inning.

Carpenter slips on the lip on the grass, infield hit.

Kozma in no mans land and indecised, infield hit.

Ball hits first base, infield hit.

Lol.

No mans land, not so sure. It was routine, had Morneau running and Carp was at the bag. Indecisive, no question.

He's got Adam Dunn power with out all the strike outs

There's an excellent comparison to be made, after Matt Adams has a 40hr season.

[BigDofBA]

Adams is already way better than Dunn unless you favor a go who hits under .200 and constantly is at top of the league in strike outs.

Cards!!!!!!!

Bring on Mattingly and the Dodgers.

I'm not sure if you're trying to make a point.

Anyway, I'll take a guy that doesn't strike out 2-3 times a game, doesn't hit under .200, and has clutch hits in the playoffs over a guy that his a solo HR every 4th 5th game because he swings as hard as he can with no approach at the plate every at bat.

Matt Adams already has more meaningful home runs than Dunn does.

Nice work Banker. I'm sure you cleared much more than I did on this game, but it was still a decent-sized bet for my taste.

I got the Cards at 13/2 to win the pennant before the season and I'm not hedging.

The Dodgers are the more talented team but the Cardinals are familiar with the post-season and pretty clutch.

I like their chances. Hopefully the same people that were backing teams like the Phillies, Nationals, and Rangers in recent post-season series against the Cardinals will come out and back LA heavy in this series. Then I'll feel even more confident.

The only point, I guess, is 382 major league at-bats is difficult to compare to 13 major league seasons. More of a wait and see type of situation.

I hope Adams isn't compared to Adam Dunn as his career continues. Lets just put it that way.

I rescind this statement. The fact Adams hits from left side , the stroke, the power - Adam Dunn popped into my head when I saw the HR on replay. Didn't mean to make any such comparison.

5 p.m. local start time in Oakland

What will the shadows be like early?

[italianbandit]

I'm laying off Det ff.

I'm laying off Det ff.

I might still ride it and tail tat.

Then again, if the Tigers lose this, lose the game and I lose my bet, it's a disastrous night all around for me.

[Rose']

Coin you had a bet on thee series? Are you playing anything tonight? Cash in big with St. Louis thanks!

[KiDBaZkiT]

Saw some interesting stats on Intentional Talk, A's are batting around .135 with RISP worst in post season. Tigers are batting .400+ with RISP the best in post season. Also last time A's won a winner take all, 40 years ago!

Doubt I'll play anything tonight. I just can't bring myself to fade JV in any way, shape or form. Again, DET FF has had my attention since Game 4 ended.

Glad you cashed on the Cards with me last night. I might make a rare series bet on them vs. the Dodgers.

I doubt Gray makes it much longer. His curve isn't biting because his throwing motion is flat. In other words, he's getting under the ball. Then he overcompensates and they're going right into the dirt.

[BigDofBA]

Tigers got this.

[EXhoosier10]

Coin, lsat i saw it was Oak +1000. At what price do you take Oakland here? Verlander's at 97 pitches; could probably go 120.

edit: oak +3 was +105, no ML. eh

[No coincidences]

JV's not coming out, Ex. No way.

I give Gray credit -- he really battled despite obviously not having his best stuff. Tigers have stranded a ton of runners on base.

+1800 at BOL.

Thanks, Ex. On to Boston. Great game.

I wanted to punch Leyland during the ninth.

WTF was he doing?
